Pre-construction problem-solving

We’ll start hashing out the details as soon as our partnership is official. Bring us in as early as possible during the pre-construction phase to consult with us on materials, property, and architectural elements. 

Looking at land? Let’s meet onsite to determine whether your vision and design ideas can be executed. We’ll evaluate site conditions and predict factors that may compromise structural integrity, limit functionality, or impact your budget. 

Pre-construction problem-solving ensures thorough conception and execution of your well-crafted, sustainably-built dream home.

Building with transparency: keeping you involved, informed, and empowered

Once your Asheville-area land is purchased and building plans are confirmed, it’s time to break ground. Our team will communicate your project’s status, progress, and changes as they happen.

Co-Construct is an online project management platform that we use to centralize information. Our clients love it because it’s easy to navigate, efficiently transmits project documents, timelines, and details, offers budgeting tools, and schedules onsite or in-office meetings. The platform is accessible to your entire team, so everyone from your architect to your interior designer will stay on the same page and coordinate tasks seamlessly. 

Let us know if you’re looking for an additional contractor. We’ll happily recommend highly-vetted, capable vendors. Why are we so thorough? Because we know this is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make and we want you to be thrilled and satisfied with every facet of your home.
